The last sur­viv­ing exam­ple of a group of three-story brick homes built in the 1790s for mer­chants, arti­sans and gen­tle­men. Nine N. Front street was the home of Thorow­good Smith until he was elected Baltimore’s sec­ond mayor in 1804.

Over the years, the build­ing has been a hotel, restau­rant, apart­ment house, and a used auto parts shop. Slated for demo­li­tion, the home was res­cued by the Women’s Civic League, which began restor­ing the build­ing in 1972 and now uses it as headquarters.

Tours are avail­able by appointment.
